The situation in Vitebsk quarantined by coronavirus

According to the executive committee of Vitebsk, he explained that the coronavirus began to spread after visiting the workers of the shoe factory in Milan. Upon arrival, they were not in self-isolation or observation, they continued to work, which allowed the virus to spread rapidly.

The global pandemic, recognized by the World Health Organization, has put an end to the ordinary lives of all people. Countries began to close for quarantine, respectively, air traffic, the work of railways, and intercity communications were closed.

Adopting the sad experience of those countries that failed to respond to the outbreak in a timely manner, countries began to close borders, and people who returned home were transferred to self-isolation or observation.

The introduction of quarantine causes bewilderment among many, since its purpose is not entirely clear. There is no opinion that it is needed, as well as refutations. And if it is effective against the pandemic, it has a very harsh effect on the economy. What can we say about the economy - after all, closing an enterprise and leaving is one thing, but closing, for example, a farm is impossible.

The Ministry of Health, introducing quarantine, is in favor of reducing the burden on the healthcare system, that is, eliminating the maximum overload with an influx of patients. If people are isolated as much as possible now, there is a chance to prevent the spread of the disease, to provide timely assistance.

It is very important that every citizen clearly understands that the health of the whole country depends on him.

Despite the fact that quarantine measures are perceived with disapproval, considering them tough, but this is the only method that can minimize the avalanche-like incidence and reduce the spread of inflammation.

In this regard, the Ministry of Education recommends, in connection with the global pandemic, people over 60 years of age, as well as those who have pathologies and chronic diseases, observe the isolation regime, as they are most at risk of getting sick, and their therapy does not always end. successfully.

Chronically ill patients are especially hard on the virus, they absolutely cannot leave the house. If there is a need to get medicine or food, contact volunteers, neighbors, relatives.

How long will quarantine last in Vitebsk

Many experts are inclined - subject to full compliance with the rules of quarantine, it would be possible to completely defeat the virus within 60 days after its introduction. But this is provided that each person responsibly approaches the fulfillment of his direct duties.
